Prince Charles could be about to follow in his mother’s footsteps as film producers have offered the royal a role in an upcoming James Bond film.
WATCH: Queen Elizabeth’s starring role in James Bond-themed London Olympics opening ceremony
Queen Elizabeth II famously starred alongside Daniel Craig in the spy-themed spoof that aired as part of the opening ceremony for the London Olympic Games in 2012.
In the hilarious footage (watch above), Daniel arrived at Buckingham Palace in character to pick up the Queen.
The pair were then helicoptered out of the grounds, and they spectacularly parachuted into the Olympic Stadium.
While Her Majesty herself starred in the opening scenes, a stunt double was used for the parachute leap.
According to The Sun, the heir to the throne has been asked to appear in the upcoming movie, which currently has a working title of Bond 25.
Charles was approached for a cameo role when he visited the set of the new film, where he also met current 007, Daniel Craig.
A source close to the production team told the publication: “They loved the buzz around the Queen’s appearance alongside Daniel Craig and think Charles could top even that.
“He is the epitome of everything British, perfect for a cameo role and Bond fans worldwide would absolutely love it.
“When he visited the film set a few weeks ago it was discussed. Now he is considering it.”
The 25th film in the James Bond franchise stars a host of big names, alongside Daniel as Bond.
Lashana Lynch, Rami Malek, Billy Magnussen, David Dencik, Dali Benssalah, Ralph Fiennes, Rory Kinnear, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris and Jeffrey Wright have all been cast in the movie, which is set to hit cinemas next year.
